Local housing authorities may set payment standards between 90% and 110% of these rates, so the average 2-bedroom payment standard can reach $1,268.
What is a Small Area Fair Market Rent (SAFMR)?
SAFMRs are fair market rents that HUD publishes at the ZIP code level instead of one rate for a whole metro area. They reflect what modest rental housing actually costs in each ZIP, which means higher payment standards in more expensive neighborhoods. Housing choice voucher payments in this market are based on these rates.
Why do rents vary so much between ZIP codes here?
In Whitman County, WA, 2-bedroom SAFMRs run from $1,060 to $1,380 per month. HUD sets each ZIP's rate from local rent data, so neighborhoods with stronger rental markets get higher voucher payment standards. For investors, the spread matters: the same house price can produce very different Section 8 rents a few ZIP codes apart.
